Project Description

In the project, Orfanatorio Ciudad de los Angeles, ​we are tasked to build a toy for an orphanage child across the border in TJ.

2 Hour Challenge

In the 2 hour challenge, we were given the challenge of building a prototype of our toy in 2 hours. This would let us visualize our final product even better and get feedback from our peers. Here are the materials I used it my partner, Dayan. We would cut the styrofoam with the tool and measure the size by eye-balling it.

Final Product

Here is the final product which is the Extra Large Jenga. ​It came out really well and I was proud of it also. In this project I have realized how fortunate I am. I have: a house, family that loves me, food and water, school, I have everything I need. I have learned to appreciate more of what I have than envying of what I do not have.

My partner and I went to Home Depot to buy 8 2x4 wood and we were going to cut it so it would be 1 foot long length wise. We then used sandpaper we borrowed from Ms. Soler and shaded the edges so it would be smooth and no one would get splinters. ​After we finished sanding it, we planned to paint every side of the word so it wouldn't look plain and boring.
